<p>A suspect tied to the planting of pipe bombs outside of the Republican and Democratic Party headquarters the night before January 6 has been arrested by the FBI, according to multiple reports.</p>
<p>The arrest comes over five years after the incident, which has long puzzled investigators. ABC <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/suspect-arrested-jan-6-pipe-bomb-case-sources/story?id=128093323&amp;cid=social_twitter_abcn&amp;utm_social_post_id=614147440&amp;utm_social_handle_id=28785486">reported</a> that the suspect is a Virginia man. The suspect&#8217;s identity has not been released, and it is not clear what charges he may face. The Daily Wire reached out to the FBI for more information.</p>
<p>NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/suspect-arrested-january-6-dc-pipe-bomb-case-rcna247308">reported</a> that the person in custody was named Brian Cole. The Justice Department is expected to hold a press conference later today on the arrest.</p>
<p>The FBI <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/video-repository/wfo-pipebomb-oct-2025-update-v2.mp4/view">has offered</a> a $500,000 award for any tips that help identify the suspect. Investigators said they believe the suspect to be about 5 feet 7 inches tall. The pipe bombs did not detonate, but the FBI said they could have been deadly. Law enforcement discovered them on January 6.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), the chair of a House January 6 subcommittee, said he wanted a briefing on the arrest. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;That would be great if we could, if they were willing to give us more information,&#8221; Loudermilk said. &#8220;But at the same time, you know, the FBI is going to be questioning, and there is an active case that we don’t want to assert anything that they have.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Last month, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino provided an update on the pipe bomb investigation after criticism over the lack of progress on the case.</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite the multitude of challenges we faced, one of our first initiatives was to aggressively pursue a new strategy to investigate the January 6 pipe bomb, terror attack,&#8221; Bongino said. &#8220;We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case, we flew in police officers and detectives working as TFOs (task force officers) to review FBI work, we conducted multiple internal reviews, held countless in person and SVTC meetings with investigative team members, we dramatically increased investigative resources, and we increased the public award for information in the case to utilize crowd-sourcing leads.&#8221;</p>
